It all makes sense in the grand scheme of things. Ballmer is retiring and they had to keep Nokia manufacturing phones for them until others jump on the wp8 bandwagon. Nokia board engineered it all well and got rid of many headaches.

The thing he's staying at (Nokia devices & services) is moving to MS. He moves with it.

My understanding was that Nokia is restricted to use the Nokia branding on their products till 2016. Though nothing stops them for making smartphones in general
Elop's actions have doomed NOKIA's feature phones to languish and die and Windows Phone has been such an abject failure it has quite possibly irreparably tarnished the NOKIA brand in smartphones too.
If NOKIA do have ambitions to get back to being a serious player in the smartphone arena they might just be better off taking Microsoft's cash and using that to start again completely free of the stinking pile of shite Elop has created.

Wellll...if you look at it in a big picture, Olli-pekka presided over the largest stock drop, and it has been steadily dropping with Olli-Pekka and without him.......so the board decided to axe it.

All times are GMT. The time now is 13:18.
Or actually the best scenario would be, WP sales start declining fast as Nokia brand disappears. Nokia keeps its ~ 20 billion dollar net cash reserves and takes profits from its patents and NSN.
Then come 2015, year after the MS Nokia deal is done, Nokia buys Jolla and 2016 releases first Nokia "Jolla" phone.
That would be pretty amazing, but that will be a long road away.
